I can't tell you how excited I have been waiting for this night to come! I worried all week on what to wear and what to expect when we got there! The night started out with Lauren picking up all the Utah county girls, me carlie and carla! We took pictures at Carla's house just like real prom! And to my surprise Eric got me a real corsage to wear to my prom! He is the best husband ever! (thanks for the suggestion Deb!)So here we are before we leave.....

We are ready to party! So we drive to Jordan Commons to meet up with leslie and melanee! We get there and to enter the party we have to walk the "red carpet" so of course everyone wanted our picture!

Then we met some guy thinking he was Edward! He was pretty weird!

Then we ate a bunch of Twilight themed food and had free drinks all night! Carlie loved that! Everyone got their hair or nails done and we took pictures with another random guy on what we imagine is Jacob's motorcycle!

Notice his tense hands and face! I don't know if he liked us very much!! Ha HaAfter a lot of waiting it was finally time to watch the movie! We got as many free drinks as we could carry and sat down in this huge theater! They handed out goodie bags and free popcorn! Remember we were VIP!!! We waited what seemed like forever more, (thanks allyse's bridal) But then it started and I loved every minute of the movie!

So much in fact I went again the next night!! With my family (minus the boys I mean) and my friend Brooke, Carlie's friend Katie, and Courtney's friend Chessie! I loved the second time around too! I will be taking donations so I can go as often as possible, so contact me if you want to donate!! :)

I had a great weekend, one I will never forget! Thanks to all who came with me and made it sooo much fun!! As Carlie put it, now what will we do with our lives? New Moon please hurry!!!

On Tuesday we went to the zoo with my friend Brooke and her two kids! It was great weather and we had a lot of fun! There was hardly anyone there and it seemed like it wasn't really open without all the crowds of people! We just took our time and let the kids guide us through the zoo! They loved the animals! Grady had a great time because he could get out of the stroller and look at the animals and really seemed to understand what they were! He even made his tiger sound when we saw the big cats! Aiden loved the carousel and rode on the snake! He also loved the zebras and wanted to get inside the fence with them! He kept saying, "Here zebra, zebra" We had a great time at the zoo! Thanks for going with us Hunter Family!! Here are the kids looking at the elephants! Grady loved these guys!

The kids loved this ride! They cried and ran away from us when it was over!

This is where Aiden wanted to get in with the zebras!

Little Grady looking up at the huge giraffe!

My little Gorilla, Aiden!

You probably can't tell but this Gorilla is eating it's own poop! We couldn't believe our eyes and my friend Brooke was afraid he was going to throw it at us! He didn't but the kids had a grose story to tell when we left! EEWWWW!!!

It seems like my kids had to wear their costumes 10 times this week for different events! But we had a lot of fun and got way more candy then we need!! (Holiday weight here I come!) Anyway, these pictures are from the night we went to UVU they had trick or treating and Halloween craft and game stuff! Aiden especially liked the spider he had face painted! Grady of course loved the candy and Korbin (their youngest cousin) was just having fun being a cute little pooh bear!
